If you've ever been told to “hold it together,” this episode is your permission slip to finally let it fall apart—in the best way.

In this deeply personal episode, I unpack what it’s looked like to stop stuffing my feelings, why I’m crying more lately (and why I actually celebrate it), and how that’s directly tied to nervous system regulation, healing generational patterns, and reclaiming a calmer home.

We talk about the science behind crying, why your nervous system needs you to actually feel your emotions, and what I realized about my own resistance to tears during my mom’s recent health crisis.

Spoiler: your tears might just be one of the most healing tools you have—and holding them back could be blocking way more than you think.

This one’s for the mom who’s been trying to stay strong for everyone else… but is secretly drowning inside.

Tune in and learn:

• Why crying is not weakness (and is actually a nervous system superpower)

• How emotional repression shows up in families and motherhood

• What to ask yourself if you feel numb, frozen, or stuck in “handling it all”
